🔍 Key Concepts

• Local area network (LAN) vs. wide area network (WAN) definitions and typical sizes • Wired vs. wireless reliability and interference in a steel ship environment • Typical design goals for critical shipboard control systems (navigation, engine control, safety systems)

💭 Think About

• Is a ship more like one building with all systems close together, or like many distant sites linked together? How does that relate to LAN vs. WAN? • For essential shipboard functions (engine control, navigation data, alarms), would designers prioritize wireless convenience or maximum reliability and immunity to interference? • Think about the metal structure of a ship: how might it affect wireless signals, and what does that suggest about the preferred cabling method?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option combines local (onboard-only) coverage with high reliability for critical systems. • Eliminate any options that are designed for large geographic distances rather than a single vessel. • Eliminate any options that would be most vulnerable to interference inside a steel hull.
